I just saw The Long Walk. It is a masterpiece and I am not okay. I’ve been sitting in the car in silence for about twenty minutes, after sitting through the credits in silence. @stephenking.bsky.social

You’re all mistaken it’s not the rapture coming its raptors 🦖

The banter at our Walking Dead TTRPG table is turning out really special. Our campaign is set in 1995 at a summer camp, and if you squint and tune-out the dice rolls, you can almost see a bunch of teenagers following a railroad on a June day. I hope when #TheYoung launches, you'll give it a spin.

Fuck all these craven fuckers.

You should know that in the process of shutting down Aligator Alcatraz, two-thirds of the detainees have gone missing. Over 800 people show no record in the database. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hi everyone. I hope to continue to share here the art that friends and I make, but I won't as soon as I am hit with a gate requiring identification (like an ssn). These are in the name of safety, but they are antithetical to such. I'm a VP of Engineering and such verification tools are not secure.

Rain forced her into the low country, worrying her flight would bring ruin upon Elinor, her father, and all she left behind. Lady in Waiting is a flash #audiodrama. Short episodes. VO @raewittevo.bsky.social. Inspired by #HerOdyssey / @mirror-lock.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/lady-i...

Tara's parents picked her up before Ta-tyana, Mindy, and Al could sneak out - but she managed to weasel-in a message: "see you next year, motherfuckers!" The Young is a coming-of-age #actualplay set in the summer of 1995. It's a horror story. www.patreon.com/posts/young-... #walkingdead #ttrpg

The Young is a coming-of-age #ActualPlay in which a strange sickness spreads through Nokomis County, Michigan, in the summer of '95 - the year Camp Whippoorwill closed for good. This is a horror story. No paywall, just soft launching a few weeks before podcatchers. www.patreon.com/posts/young-...

I am going to try something new: a farm-to-table that's more actual-play proper than audio drama. It's called THE YOUNG. Here is the teaser. www.patreon.com/posts/coming...

"Countries across the board are seeing lower governance scores compared with 10 years ago, and, as a result, many have fallen below the “autocracy” threshold. Only 19 countries and less than 6% of the world’s population have shifted into democracy." www.elysian.press/p/a-report-c...

Hey there. Help me write a comic. I need eyes and opinions before wider audiences see it.

Lady in Waiting is a flash folk-horror told through prayers. An audiodrama, with @raewittevo.bsky.social acting their head off. These episodes are just ~3 minutes - that's the "flash" bit. Pop this open in another tab, put on some headphones, and hit play. thief.substack.com/p/lady-in-wa...

So, @isabeladuffles.bsky.social and I are actually ready to start showing Swán to folks who are happy with giving us feedback about layout, bubbles, colors, and script. If you are down, please mosey on over to our substack and just leave a comment swancomic.substack.com/p/swan-we-ne... 🖤😺

I am gearing-up for season two of #TheThief byyyy dripping all of the custom score. I haven't had much to share that's not been behind a patron-wall, but if anything I just want you to know that The Thief is happening. thief.substack.com/p/music-tria... #actualplay

Isn’t this wild? Servants navigated these stairs quietly, always out of sight of the family that lived above. Lives unfolded in narrow passages and dim corners. #victorian #lifeunderstairs

A super way to think about genre.

Lorim's Hill is at a high point in the city where #TheThief takes place. Salt-eaten. Worn-through. But Symphony calls it home. And it's now an original theme by Ivan Duch composed for the second season's score. www.patreon.com/posts/music-... thief.substack.com/p/music-lori...

I am going to chat about Beowulf for a minute. It's my first post here (or anywhere on social) in awhile, and having come out of a strong medievalist college, I just occasionally want to yap about Beowulf. Here's my pitch: the hoard, not the dragon, killed Beowulf.

This is a great tagline. #Daggerheart via @ginnydi.com

I am reframing my months’ lack of creative productivity as a sabbatical in which I - don’t. I am sitting on the trunk of the car listening to the crickets. The occasional cool breeze of an almost-summer evening.

If your feed like mine is full of design-work and engineering hopium posted by like-bait thoughtleaders, consider dipping your toes into cynical philosophical design thinking with me where the water is warm. stoic.substack.com/p/lesson-89-...

I haven’t wanted to write Stoic Designer since February, but I think things are sufficiently weird enough to write a warning. stoic.substack.com/p/lesson-89-...

Expect uncertainty. Assume you’ll be wrong. That’s the work now: design systems that survive error. You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a structure that can take a hit and a habit of moving before the market finishes clearing its throat. stoic.substack.com/p/lesson-89-... #tech #design

This is an amazing observation.

So excited to finally start polishing everything! ✨ And getting myself mentally prepared to paint a ton of flowers and butterflies lol 🌻 #VtuberWIP

Volatility fans my magical thinking, so I present my Light Card (the empress) and my shadow card (page of cups).

Hi! I'm Rae - a non-binary voice actor with a particular passion for audio drama and audiobook narration. I try to promote a wide variety of projects here, so if you're curious to see what I've been working on or hear some demos (more on the way) take a look at raewittevo.com

it’s Independent Bookstore Week and I’m here to tell y’all that if you’re still getting your books from Am*zon when they cost the same from an indie and we ship just about anywhere, you are actively making the world a worse place for everyone and I’d better not find out about it, xx oo ❤️

This is a great trick because gullible CEOs are going to start planning their AI enabled worklows or whatever and when what arrives at the end of the year is unusable garbage they're locked in to trying to make it work regardless and Anthropic can claim success.

I thought I’d report that — from what I was just told from a FAU admissions employee — some employees at Florida Atlantic University were informed today they can’t say - equity - diversity - woman

The birdsong at almost-six here by the screen door is, I think, what I’m going to paying attention to instead of that niggling concern that sitting here in the sun I’m not productive enough

Art is a spell. For art to "work" then the artist has to practice the craft. Note that it's not about the art being _good_ - it's about the art having efficacy. The artist is a practitioner. They cheat. They shortcut. They might have clocked some classical training but it's mostly woo woo.

What would change in your leadership or creative process if you treated discomfort as a signal to pause and feel—rather than explain or solve?

I am editing a nursing scene and a performance made me sad. I know these are just people reading lines I wrote, but there are occasional moments — like when the nurse says “shh, look at me …” — that makes me believe our dice rolls were real.

Long one 🧵 - I haven’t written Stoic Designer or published an update to The Thief in a few weeks. My work — v. p. engineering at a startup — just sometimes taps all the productive energy I have. That’s fine, but what I wanted to share is that this coincides with largely being off social media ...
